3 way switches

Hello all. I'm finishing up remodeling a room in my house and picked up new receptacles and a light switch today. The only switch left that was in the color I needed is a three way; the light is a two way. I know it's probably ok to use a 3 way in a two way circuit with the only issue being I might have to rewire it if on/off aren't in the right positions. I would wire it like this: hot to common and one of the travelers to the light. Is there any problem with doing this. thanks

3 way switches

The one and only disadvantage of using a (just one) 3 way switch for single location control is that the switch costs more. And that is chicken feed or chump change.
